Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time. We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day.
We also sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint. Jack the Ripper Stories, at the time known as The Whitechapel Murders, is one example.
